    i must admit, i log the process size of all three of the moo's i run
    sites for at least once a day.. maybe i'm paranoid ;)

    i'd just like to comment on that - i've been running my moo on 1.8.0p4
    with fup 1.8 patch on a sunos 4 machine with an uptime of just over 7
    weeks at the time of writing.. in all that time the process size has
    grown about 2 meg.. as the db's grown too i hardly think that's a major
    cause for concern ;)

    both my other moo's are on 1.8.0p5 (one on a linux box, the other on a
    solaris machine) and not one of them has ever had any sudden memory
    growth or panic problems in.. well, ever ;)

    the only problem i've ever had is due to someone accidentally setting one
    of the machines up with a 4.8 meg swap instead of 48 meg.. oh well ;)
